Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 avocados
1 onion
1 habanero pepper
5 ounces flounder fillets
1/2 cup pinto beans
1 tablespoon horseradish
2 tablespoons wasabi mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • First, prepare the Pinto beans according to the directions on the packaging. This may require an overnight soak. When cooking the beans, only cook them about halfway. You can prepare the stock as they cook.
  • Next, prepare the stock: Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, and bring to a low boil. Coarsely chop Onion, and add to pot. Cut up 1 avocado into large pieces and add to pot. Cut the top off of the Habañero pepper, and add to pot. Break flounder fillet into small pieces, and add to pot. Whisk 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard into the pot. Add 1 tablespoons of Horseradish to pot. Finally, add the partially cooked pinto beans to the pot. Now, let the whole mixture simmer for about 1 hour.
  • While the stock simmers, you can prepare the base: Cut up the 2 remaining avocados and place in a blender. Add another 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard to the blender, along with 1/4 cup of water. Scoop out the other avocado and the Habañero pepper from the stock pot, and add to the blender. Blend these ingredients until they are fully puréed. You may need to add another 1/4 cup of water.
  • Now, strain the stock through a colander to remove the onion, fish pieces, and beans, but KEEP the strained liquid. That is your stock. You can discard the onions, fish, and beans, or use them in another dish. I added them to some whole grain rice for a healthy, fiber-rich side dish.
  • Pour the strained stock back into the large pot. Put it on medium-low heat, and gradually whisk in the avocado purée, until fully blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Tip: If the soup is too thin, let it simmer for a while and it will reduce and get thicker. If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit of water.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I might try thinning it out with some broth or water next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover avocado. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time and reheat for a quick and easy meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that it's healthy and delicious. I usually add some chopped cilantro and lime juice to brighten up the flavors.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The avocado made it creamy and rich, and the spices gave it a nice depth of flavor. I'll definitely try making it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I decided to give this soup a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The avocado flavor was subtle, and the soup was creamy and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, even though I added extra chili powder. I also wasn't a fan of the texture. It was a bit too thick and creamy for my taste.

This soup was a hit! The avocado and vegetable flavors blended perfectly, and the heat from the chili powder gave it a nice kick. I also added some chopped cilantro and lime juice, which really brightened up the flavors. Definitely a keeper!
